The 15th Cochrane Colloquium will start on 23 October, 2007
It has been necessary to postpone the start of the 15th Cochrane Colloquium in São Paulo, Brazil, by two days. It will now commence on 23 October and end on 27 October 2007.

The official start of the Colloquium is now at 6:30p.m. on Tuesday 23 October 2007. All meetings that have already been scheduled are now simply two days later:

Monday 22 October 2007

The dates needed to be changed because of a Formula 1 car race in São Paulo. Unfortunately, the dates of this traditional Brazilian  sporting event had not yet been announced when the dates of the Colloquium were decided. We hope this change of dates will not cause problems for anyone, and look forward to welcoming you in Brazil.
